Kitchens - their successful design is an imperative part of a working interior. It really can be the small, simple details - tailored to the way that you cook and use the space - that make it a joy to use. Whether it's having jars of ingredients on open shelving, or something clean white and minimal. From ergonomic islands to modular cabinets and hidden storage.
Orange Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen is painted a warm orange, with wooden units. Copper pans are displayed along a traditional shelf and rows of plates adorn the walls. A wooden farmhouse kitchen provides both a work surface and a casual dining spot.
Green Farmhouse Kitchen
The kitchen harks back to the building's origins as a farmhouse. It boasts original terracotta floor tiles and simple whitewashed walls. The traditional wooden beamed ceiling is painted a vibrant green.
Mews tricks
In the kitchen area, traditional and contemporary pieces work together, where a mix match of chairs around the dining table create an informal dining look. Carrara-marble-topped units are painted in 'Hague Blue' by Farrow & Ball.
Modern Country Kitchen with Black Aga
The traditional country kitchen has an Aga and complementing units on either side, with the owners' collection of copper pans hanging along the length of the wall. The table was custom-made and is paired with chairs and a bench. The effect, although welcoming and cosy, is minimal and fresh.
Farmhouse Kitchen with Wooden Dining Table
The kitchen of this farmhouse is painted in a soft green. The traditional units are creamy white with brass knobs and pulls and a gloriously weathered oak table has centre stage.
Do you own or rent a flat the size of a broom cupboard? Do you despair of achieving design perfection within your quarters? Whether you have a dark basement in need of lightening up or a studio flat which could do with a canny layout, We've got ideas for everything from clothes storage to furniture and paint colour. Before you know it your tiny apartment will feel really rather palatial...
White Small Flat Living Room with Cheap Curtains
The antiqued bronze table found in the sitting room, the sitting room curtains, are made up in a discontinued fabric.
Victorian Flat Living Room Fireplace
The beauty is in the detail, the scheme emerges through small decoratice touches.
Modern Flat Living Room with Bookshelf Wall
They look striking within the modern grey decoration scheme.
Flat Living Room with DIY Art
The sitting room is filled with improvised artwork; an acrylic-painted sample, originally done for a fresco later installed, with a sample for a door panel beneath it.
Small White Living Room With Mirror Wall
To create a feeling of cohesion through the flat, the walls were panted in the drawing room and the bedroom from Paint and Paper Library; the sofa, is covered in a Bruno Triplet linen.
 Cooler weather doesn't mean the end of outdoor decorating. Changing things up seasonally is fresh and festive and keeps your home from feeling tired. Even small details that are thoughtful can be very inviting.

 Stately Symmetry
Tall container gardens, when guests are coming and going during the busy season, you want to dress your best. The simplicity of two planters flanking the door, making it a focal point.

 Monogrammed Urns
To give a little more interest to standard urn planters. The gold complements the hardware on the door, while standing out against the black surface.


  Seasonal Seating
A bright red bench to the front yard, which offers a cheery spot to admire the autumnal foliage. We also loved that big front door wreath, which is noticeable even from far away.

 Hay Bale Vignette
If you don't have enough room on your porch for a big display, simply relocate it to the front yard. It creates a natural focal point and provides support for heavier elements.

 Asymmetrical Appeal
Another great ,x pf umpkins and mums, arranged asymmetrically.Catch the tiny pumpkins dotting the transom window.



Your backyard doesn't expire by summer's end. Use these decorating ideas to transition your porch, patio or backyard for autumn.

Outdoor Daybed
Snuggling up on an outdoor swing looks like an all-weather activity when it's positioned in a snug alcove. Improvised this divan using rope, metal rings and wood.


Hanging Lanterns
That's no small stove. A house heats the entire loggia with a massive limestone fireplace. Curling up on one of the sectional sofas sounds extra relaxing under the glow of overhead lanterns.

Hooded Chair
The cushioned sofa and chaise lounge look comfy, but the star of this open-air living room is the antique Porter's chair. The canopied nook provides the perfect outdoor reading spot, and the best seat at the dining table.

Cozy Fireplace
Extend the season of alfresco dining with a freestanding chimney. Plus, summer's end means no pesky bugs.

Curtained Cabana
Pull back the thick drapes during the day or turn on the paper lanterns at night. Either way, this California pagoda looks perfectly dreamy.

Small spaces can be the bane of any flat-dweller's or home owner's life. But they can also be a blessing in design disguise. Awkward, small spaces are often a catalyst for change, forcing you to a) clear the clutter and b) come up with clever design ideas you may never have thought of otherwise. From small living rooms and small dining rooms, to small bedrooms, small bathrooms, small kitchens and kids' rooms, or even just small space storage solutions, we've delved in to the House & Garden achive to bring you clever, stylish ideas for every room of the house.

 The basic scheme in the living room is minimal but it has injected the visual interest through the colors, pattern and texture. The decoration scheme ethnic touches used throughout.

 Keep your bicycle out of the way and make a stylish feature of it with a wall-mounted bike rack. You don't need to store above the fireplace, a hallway will work just as well. 
The kitchen door which doubles as CD storage.
The wall shelves in the spare room - along with providing storage - draw the eye up, making the cosy ceilings appear higher, while a chair provides double duty as a bedside table.  An olive-stripe flatweave rug contrasts with a vibrant tartan rug used as a bedspread and cushions made from fabric pieces left over from projects.
Making use of natural light and mirrors to expand the space. Creating crisp, elegant, predominantly pale interiors - even on a small scale, putting favourite things into a new environment creates a fresh mood straight away.
 
When space is at a premium, it pays to be inventive with what little room you have. Window boxes - tiny pockets of flowers and foliage scattered across city centres - are a wonderful way to bring green into the concrete jungle. From exotic evergreens to traditional blooms, it's time to transform your windowsill into something spectacular. 


  Dwarf dahlias work well in a small windowbox and come in a plethora of colours - from candy pink to bright orange.

Tiny violas are a delicate choice for a country cottage windowsill. Victorian Violas has the very best selection. 

 Choose climbing pelargoniums and geraniums to create a verdant screen to mask a view into a ground floor flat.

 These homemade wooden window boxes are filled with trailing white bacopa for a chic neutral look.

 Jungle-like combinations of plants work well against a deep Georgian black-blue wall.
